Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeThe song, How Can I Keep from Singing by Pauline T & Robert Lowry, speaks poetically about the song of hope we carry as human beings. A hope not just for a better tomorrow, but one in which the Lord is walking with us through the ups and downs of life. When the man in today's Gospel was blessed to receive his hearing and speech back, it is the gift of faith to hear and speak the word God. What song brings hope to you? Can you be kept from singing?Scripture Reading for September 8, 2024Isaiah 35:4-7Psalm 146:7-10James 2:1-5Mark 7:31-37

Opening Song: “Kingdom of God” (https://open.spotify.com/track/2jneHgyd1uUIfk7eVhqmDK?si=a120ed3f201844b4) by Jon Guerra Lyrics: Kingdom of God Oh that I could see your face How I'm longing for the day Brighter sun of holy grace Make my heart a holy place Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God And they will find a refuge for theirs in the kingdom of God Beauty shining from your face Always longed to see this place Is there somewhere I can stay? Even just a couple days? Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God And they will find a refuge for theirs in the kingdom of God The Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want In valley or pasture, we shall not want Our cup runneth over and over For now and forever For now and forever Passage: Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. 3 This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent ​— ​Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with that glory I had with you before the world existed. 6 “I have revealed your name to the people you gave me from the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8 because I have given them the words you gave me. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me. 9 “I pray for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name that you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one. -- John 17:1-11 (CSB) Musical Reflection: I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED) by Robert Lowry Reflection Notes: Each stanza of this familiar hymn was written by Annie Hawks as part of a poem. When she showed the composition to her pastor, Robert Lowry, he added the refrain and set the text to music for their congregation to enjoy. The musical lines always tend upward before falling back down, an apt parallel to the textual pleas reaching up to God. Prayer: O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Opening Song: O Lord, open our lips and our mouths will declare Your praise. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen. The Scripture for today is John 12:20-33. Let's prepare our hearts to hear from God's word as we listen to Son of Suffering by Aaron Moses, David Funk, Matt Redman, and Nate Moore, sung by Jekalyn Car and the Mav City Gospel Choir. Jazz organ and unison ensemble singing immediately set the tone for this song. The passionate voices, inspired improvisations, and call-and-response motives are all characteristic of the gospel style and elicit a specific emotional response. Lyrics: Oh the perfect Son of God In all His innocence Here walking in the dirt with you and me He knows what living is He's acquainted with our grief A man of sorrows Son of suffering Blood and tears how can it be (That) there's a God who weeps There's a God who bleeds Oh praise the One Who would reach for me Hallelujah to the Son of suffering Some imagine You are distant and removed But You chased us down in merciful pursuit To the sinner You were grace And the broken You embraced And in the end the proof is in Your wounds Yes in the end the proof is in Your wounds Your cross my freedom Your stripes my healing All praise King Jesus Glory to God in Heaven Your blood still speaking Your love still reaching All praise King Jesus Glory to God forever Glory to God forever Glory to God forever Glory to God forever (Glory to God forever) Hallelujah to the Son of suffering All praise King Jesus All praise King Jesus All praise King Jesus Glory to God forever All praise King Jesus All praise King Jesus All praise King Jesus Glory to God forever Passage: 20 Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit. 25 The one who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant also will be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. 27 “Now my soul is troubled. What should I say ​— ​Father, save me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all people to myself.” 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die. -- John 12:20-33 (CSB) Musical Reflection: I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED) by Robert Lowry Reflection Notes: Each stanza of this familiar hymn was written by Annie Hawks as part of a poem. When she showed the composition to her pastor, Robert Lowry, he added the refrain and set the text to music for their congregation to enjoy.

Devotional Theme – "Unlimited Access: Accessing God's Promises"Scripture reference - Ephesians 3:12 "In whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him."Intro and Outro Song - "We Give Thanks To Thee" by Marlene Jenkins CooperClosing Song - "I Need Thee Every Hour" written by Robert Lowry and Annie Sherwood HawksScriptures mentioned in the podcast - John 10:29 Niv, Romans 5:2, John 14:6, Hebrews 4:19, John 14:6

The text was written by Fanny J. Crosby and music by Dr. Robert Lowry, the famous preacher. The hymn says that our savior, Jesus, provides us with guidance and strength all the way through life. Crosby goes through many examples of places and feelings in which her savior led her gracefully through and the song is an expression of our faith in Christ to lead us.

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. 13 His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. 14 The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.

The musical lines always tend upward before falling back down, an apt parallel to the textual pleas reaching up to God. Prayer: I am spent, O my Christ, breath of my life. Perpetual stress and surge, in league together, make long, O long, this life, this business of living. Grappling with foes within and foes without, my soul has lost its beauty, blurred your image. Did ever oak such buffeting from winds or ship receive from waves as I do now? Labor to labor, task succeeds to task. . . . Friendship has bowed and illness wasted me. . . . Do not forsake me, my Strength, I beseech you. When the storms beat hard I may have betrayed you, but let me return to you now. -Gregory of Nazianzus

Opening Song: Send Me (https://open.spotify.com/track/7mZQL5rMd6BwppELobLMpI?si=5adc61f0c29a4d3c) by Brandon Lake, Jenn Johnson, and Kari Jobe Lyrics: If it's bandaging the broken or washing filthy feet Here I am Lord send me If it's loving one another even when we don't agree Here I am Lord send me If I'm poor or if I'm wealthy I'll serve You just the same Here I am Lord send me On the mountain or the valley I will choose to praise Here I am Lord send me If I'm known by how I love let my life reflect How much I love You I love You And before You even ask oh my answer will be yes ‘Cause I love You I love You If the truth cuts like an arrow I will say it anyway ‘Cause here I am Lord send me If it's means that they'll reject me Lord I will still obey Here I am Lord send me When I'm standing in Your glory I'll be glad I chose to say Here I am Lord send me Well done good and faithful I live to hear You say Here I am Lord send me Here I am Lord send me Here I am Lord send me Passage: And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” The Twelve Apostles 10 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;[a] 4 Simon the Zealot,[b] and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'[c] 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[d] cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. 9 Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[e] or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Take a real rest Walk along with me In the pastures of my presence You can be yourself and you can Say what's on your heart I already know it all Doesn't matter what you say Come and get away with me I know where you are Where you've been and what you've seen Doesn't matter how you come Come and get away with me Get away get away with me (Get away get away with me) Are you burdened From all the heavy days? It's not your job To shoulder all the weight Let me do it Let me come and take The lies you've been believing in The truth is that you have a place to Grace upon grace upon grace Let it lead Get away get away with me Grace upon grace upon grace Let it lead Get away get away with me Grace upon grace upon grace Let me lead Get away get away with me Say what's on your heart I already know it all Doesn't matter what you say Come and say it all to me I know where you are Where you've been and what you've seen Doesn't matter how you come Come and get away with me Oh come away come away with me Get away get away with me Passage: 1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. 12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
